I went back after 2 weeks. I recommend waiting longer IF you can, in my case I couldn't wait any longer as I was already working remotely from my cellphone while my baby was in NICU. If you return to work be sure to take it easy with physical labor, limit your lifting, and rest when possible.

I've had a c section before b so it's nothing new to me. Most of the time I sit at a desk with a child helping him do assignments and staying on task. it's not a very demanding job being a teaching assistant

I wanted to go back at 2 weeks and honestly I could have BUT my problem was that our daycare would not take baby until she was 6 weeks old. Looking back though I'm glad I didn't do that because I was so exhausted. Like literally sleepy. I healed great, never had any pain, was off pain meds 2 days later and never had any issues.

12 weeks is out of the question for me and I don't drive now as I'm barred anyway. I just know my taxes won't last long on paying all the bills plus I really hate not having things to do. my nursing job I returned to work after 6 weeks. But being it's a school and much less body stress wanted to try and return sooner. 4 to 6 weeks is reasonable but 8 to 12 I know mentally and financially can't do it
